Hummingbird...red dot on it's chin.
Madeira, Ohio (just Northeast of Cincinnati)
We see these hummingbirds regularly at our flower boxes and our Rose of Sharon plants. This one snuck up on me while I was sitting on the deck.
Actually, I think it is an Anna's hummingbird (female)...the following description is for the female: "Adult female: Green back, grayish-white breast, white throat with some red spots, white tips on outer tail feathers." The red spot seems less like ruby-throated and more like Anna's.

The are not a regular in Ohio but they have been sited there at times.
